let's start with yesterday's build. a few months ago my friends Joe and Bobby dragged this bench from the most recent remodel of the bowling alley down the street. it sat around legless for a while until one day i decided to make it useful again with help from the welder and some bed frames. i had to cut it in two pieces and yesterday i got around to the smallest section. i made the legs with 3/4'' emt, i'm very happy with the paint job:
here is the larger section:
the construction of this one was somewhat "additive", that is, i didn't really plan it that well and just kept on adding things to make it stable. it ended up being very triangular.
detail of the paint job with the corn/dna theme:
i've been collecting windshield wiper spines from the local auto store trash for a while, they are pretty nice pieces of springy metal, you can even make lock picking tools with them. but i never paid much attention to the wiper itself. the other day it struck me as a very good starting point for a mobile so this is what came out (the orange pieces are shredder wheels):
on the sewing side of things i fixed this clothespin holder with some mesh road sign fabric:
and made a kilt following this great instructable:
i'm already planning on making a red one with some modifications to the design. i'd like to use velcro instead of snaps in some places, make the side pockets a bit lower and construct symmetrical pleats starting with a box pleat at the middle.
